I don't see why not. Rory McIlroy went from pro to amateur overnight.


It always made me sick that Huffington was making so much coin from unpaid bloggers.


Do you feel the same way about any profitable company that runs Apache or FreeBSD? I don't understand your sentiment, which seems quite common. These unpaid bloggers on HuffPo have in aggregate contributed almost nothing of durable value to civilization (and I think I'm being generous, as someone whose politics are not incompatible with your typical HuffPo reader or contributor, in assuming the net contribution has been positive) while the contributions of these developers have been enormous and transformative to our society.

Unpaid bloggers of the world, stop writing! You have nothing to lose but the time you've wasted adding noise to a vapid cacophony.


I enjoy Top Gear but their (ie Clarkson's) animosity towards hybrids, electrics etc. is pretty pathetic, epically antiquarian.


Yeah I largely agree with this: this is a turd of a hatchet job of an article. Pretty obvious that there are personal gripes coming thru. The dipshit acolytes in the comments there cheering on this asshole are particularly galling.


Personally, I think it's totally badass.


amazing work. Now for the pokerbot...

Yep, that's where the AI comes in. The screen-scraping is the easy part.


Great shit on that page.


An amazing resource. Brilliant... Stanford lead the world in open education (MIT are great too)


This. I'm always coming across blog posts for products which I DON'T know... and hit hte header link... and it just brings me to the blog home page. Which usually tells me nothing about what the service actually does.


Hell of a good job. Learning to code & build a web app from scratch in 4 weeks is mighty impressive.


Thank you sir :)
